I specialise in one field or work across several formats. Depending on the area in which i work, a writer's job may involve:
developing subject ideas, drawing on personal interest and topical issues
researching material by using the internet, personal interviews and other methods writing and rewriting material, often many times, to achieve the desired effects
submitting commissioned material in the style required and to deadline
receiving feedback and criticism, and revising work as a result
researching the potential market for their writing, and pursuing publishing opportunities.
I spend much of my time working alone. I seek to an agent to promote and sell my work. Once my work is accepted for publication they may liaise with commissioning editors, script editors and publishers.
While i may use pen and paper for my initial drafts, I expected to submit finished work using a computer. Some use specialised software - for example, to set screenplays in the format required by TV producers.
